[missrosetyler]

Bit of repeat again but I suppose always nice to see new faces.

[Rose looks around the square to see all sorts of people walking by. No one she recognizes however. She looks back at her device.]

If you're getting this and don't know where you are, welcome to the City. If you need any assistance settling, just let me know. They've got some really great tea and scones shops around if you're into that sort of thing.

Comments

[missrosetyler]

Sometimes when I want to just think.

[She takes a seat.]

So what about you? Still travelling about on your own?

[reallygreathair]

Well, kind of.

[Looks around.]

Lot of people about here.

[missrosetyler]

It's not good for you, you know.

[She looks around as well noticing the people.]

Yeah, this place just pulls all sorts.

[A sever approaches their table ready to take their order. Rose orders for herself before looking over at the Doctor.]

[reallygreathair]

I'll have the same. Two sugars.

[Back to Rose.]

You will never believe who I ran into a little while ago.

[missrosetyler]

[The server takes their orders to leaves.

Rose looks at him curiously.]

Well go on then. Who did you run into?

[reallygreathair]

Me! Well, a much younger me. Funny how he looks older, but that's regeneration for you.

[missrosetyler]

Bow tie, yeah?

[She laughs.]

I know him. Err, you. Sort of. He's kind of trapped and not liking it.

[reallygreathair]

Bow tie and frock coat, that's the one. I don't blame him. I wouldn't like it either.

[Pauses for a second.]

Hang on! If you knew he was me, why didn't you stay with him?

[missrosetyler]

Yeah and you settling has never been a good pair.

I didn't right away. Well 'cos it'd just be...odd.

[Not to mention slightly painful but she will not go there and hopes that her expression doesn't betray her.]

[reallygreathair]

Rose, he is still me. Do you know what happens when I'm in a strange place, on my own?

[missrosetyler]

You chase after shiny red buttons?

[Rose's attempt at a joke. Though really she knows better.]

Besides I didn't want to intrude.

[reallygreathair]

Intrude? What do you mean intrude? How would you intrude?

[missrosetyler]

Hi, I'm Rose. You don't know me but I know you and we'll travell together someday so I'm just gonna crash in your TARDIS for a bit.

[She looks over at him as if to make a point.]

Intrude. Besides how would you like it, if it was reversed and I didn't know who the hell you were.

[reallygreathair]

Well, alright I'll give you that one. Was I--he--with anyone?

[missrosetyler]

No, he's on his own.

[She frowns.]

Suppose just like you are. Although both of you really shouldn't be.

[reallygreathair]

Well, I'm older and wiser now. I have an excuse.

[missrosetyler]

Oh? And what's that then?

[reallygreathair]

What's what?

[missrosetyler]

Your excuse?

[The tea and scones arrive.]

[reallygreathair]

I'm on my own by choice. He isn't, and needs someone to keep him out of trouble more than I do.

[missrosetyler]

And who is going to keep you out of trouble?

How long has it been anyway...

[reallygreathair]

[Glares at her. The memory of Donna is still fresh in his mind.]

You wouldn't understand.

[missrosetyler]

Try me.

[reallygreathair]

Did he tell you about Jamie and Zoe?

[missrosetyler]

He did, yeah. Your people were horrid to do that.

[She frowns and picks up her tea just staring at her reflection.]

Sorry.
